Ever have a conversation you did not want to end? That’s today’s episode on the Daring to Rest Podcast with seven of the women who just led rest sessions at Rest Camp for Women. It’s a conversation on rest and yoga nidra that’s personal, professional, fun, and serious. You’ll hear us talking about great rest books and films and a resty kind of TED Talk. We share our essential rest props.  And there are many tender and sweet rest stories. If you’re thinking about the Daring to Rest Facilitator Training for Women, this is a must-listen. You'll hear all seven women reflect on the ways the training impacted them. In a culture that values busyness over rest, this episode is for any woman who wants to put rest at the center of her life and wants to create a world of rested people.

Karen's back with a short "rest check in" on the topic of deep rest, yoga nidra and inner mothering. These unrested times are calling us not only to rest, and help others, but also to not abandon our inner selves. Abandoning ourselves is perhaps the number one way we get off the rested path. Inner mothering is key. Come hang out with Karen today as she shares on the podcast about how a practice like yoga nidra can help you mother yourself while lying down. This is the kind of rest revolution we want you to be a part of - lying down to feel rested AND "do the inner work!"

Karen speaks with Tracee Stanley, author of a new book – The Luminous Self - on how to find your luminous self that resides behind all sorrow, the power of our practices to create new patterns and beliefs, the importance of cultivating a relationship with nature and our true nature, and contemplating death and impermanence in a world that plays into these fears. Be sure to listen to the end. Tracee leads us through a profound short practice!

The struggle to feel rested is real. Is the Barbie movie the answer? After watching the film, I wanted to talk about it here at Daring to Rest because in some ways it felt like an instructive piece on creating a rested life. I also wanted to find a perspective beyond mine. So I invited Shalini Sinha, a gender professor and anti-racist specialist in Canada, onto the podcast today to speak about the film with me. Shalini brings a perspective on the Barbie movie that you probably have not heard yet.
